Free Advice and Assistance for the Novice Writer

Agency for Literary Review

These pages are designed for would-be authors in the process of writing or who have completed their effort and are wondering how good it is and what to do with it next.  There are many pages here, devoted to different aspects of writing and offering our advice to help you over some of the rough spots.  So we suggest you bookmark the page (Ctrl + D) because you aren’t likely able to take advantage of all that is on offer at one go.  Hopefully you will want to return more than once.

This is not a writing course.  We do not presume to teach you anything or even that you need to be taught anything.  Our parent site does deal with such things in different ways but we are offering here an opportunity for you to just get some free, friendly, advice.  Whether you accept it or take us up on some of our other free offers of assistance to enhance your writing is entirely up to you.

We make no recommendations.  You will find very few links to other Web sites on these pages.  We offer no guide or recommendation to any publisher, literary agent or source of additional help or assistance.  You are quite able to find those without our help or tout.

We do offer paid services.  Our parent site offers a full typescript evaluation and assessment service for a fee.  However, everything else on these pages is without cost, and this includes the offer to review individual chapters and a synopsis of your writing…but you’re going to have to find where we’ve hidden that.
